Does your media have USB technology (j/k)

Blank Media

How nice.

DVD+R USB. :stuck_out_tongue:

#22

Do these support hyper transfer?

#23

Rumor has it that HTUP:// ( Hyper Transfer USB Protocol ) is only supported during climactic astrological events in conjunction with certain planetary alignments.

#24

I can find HyperThreading DVDs and HyperTransport DVDs, just not both at the same timeā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

Also, dual core DVD media (not the same as double-layer or dual-layer) can be burned by two lasers at the same time!!! :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

#25

Those dual core dvds must get pretty hot. Wonder if they can be watercooled?

#26

dual core DVDā€™s? Nah, iā€™m more interested in the Quad Layer DVDā€™s :slight_smile:

doesnā€™t seem to mention if it supports usb media though, iā€™m not sure if sony are in the usb 2.0 camp or not. maybe a simple firmware update will feature the correct support :slight_smile:
(hope it wont require the ā€˜climactic astrological eventsā€™ that Wesociety speaks of)

Guysā€¦

After losing a couple of family and friends to cancer over the past 1.5 years, I am now dealing with the news that my friendā€™s mom - who is like my own mother to me in many ways - is fighting breast cancer.
This post gave me a huge laugh and boost in spiritsā€¦ funny stuffā€¦ especially the Star Trek warp matrix tachyon pulse bit. Best post ever!!!

Thanks guysā€¦ you all rockā€¦

Here it comes. I knew it was just a matter of timeā€¦everybody knows that DVD-R USB is massively better than +R USB.

#30

No, dvd-ram usb is by far the best. I hope those blu-ray usb disc come out soon. The regular ones I have now are crap :frowning:

#31

Iā€™m gald my discovery of these ā€œUSBā€ blank media caused some amusement, I had a good laugh too. :slight_smile:

Anyway according to the link to the DVD+R stuff posted by Dicer it says ā€œBrand: USB Technology (Infomedia)ā€. So these guys are using ā€œUSB Technologyā€ as a brand name, very funny. Itā€™s a bit like when you go to some flea market or somewhere selling ultra cheap made in China cloths wih ā€œUSAā€ or something similar as the so called brand name hehe.

#32

SATA III please.

BTW, Dell (OEM) SATA II 6-ch. controllers and 3ware hot-swap bays look good at ebay. Hotbays are rather heavy for air shipping over the Pacific.

#33

Unfortunately, no. But the ā€˜Dust-Offsā€™ are pretty effective in this. The latest Riteks on sale are ā€˜Dust Offā€™ complaint too. Tried those? They get really cool. Cooler than putting them with my round cuts steaks in my freezer :iagree:

#34

USB Technology DVD blanksā€¦ so slow even a mediocre USB enclosure wonā€™t coaster them.

#35

Can USB discs be written with Winword 2.0 in a 5.1/4 floppy disc drive? Or do I need Excel? I managed to insert a Titek Yodel A+++ USB disc in the 5.1/4 floppy drive (took me about an hour, for whatever reason the slot is too narrow for the disc so I had to use a hammer) but now I canā€™t take it out anymore, no matter how hard I press the eject button. :confused: I soaked the drive in soapy water but still no joy. :frowning:

Modern technology su*ks big time! :a

Be a little careful with INFODISCA10 discs. I have some of those (A1Pro 4x DVD+RW - the brand alone should make you cringe). I use those in my DVD recorder for recording TV programs. I had one of them die on me with no warning, one day. The recorder burned it fine, but could not read back about half of the disc. I tried reading that part of it with various DVD writers and DVD-ROM drives to no avail. A full format of the disc did not help. Two days later the disc could not even be recognised by two different DVD writers anymore. I got ā€œplease insert discā€ when I tried to write to it. I had only written to and erased the disc about 4 times from when it was new.

I wouldnā€™t trust those discs with any important information if I were you.

Thanks for the info. My Dad backed up some old home movie beta tapes to them. Iā€™ll make sure I copy them over onto my Yudens.
